Listen up, you maggots! Isaiah 61 is about God's plan for redemption and the arrival of a new era of justice and peace. It starts off with a proclamation of good news for those who are downtrodden, sorrowful, and broken. God will restore them and grant them comfort. He will also give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. The Lord will be their everlasting light, and they will rebuild and restore the ruins of the past. They will be called oaks of righteousness, and they will be rewarded with the glory of the Lord. Finally, all the nations will come to them, and they will be known as God's holy people. That's it, maggots! Get to it!
